Question
Is it true that India is mentioned in the hadiths? If so, please mention them. Was Adam in India as well?

Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

"Yes, India is mentioned in a hadith reported in the Jami` As-Sagheer by Imam As-Syuti. The hadith says: "There will be two army groups among Muslim who will be admitted to Paradise. One will conquer India, and the other will fight the Dajjal."

As for the second part of the question, it is a historical famous fact that we don't have any hadith to support it."

Allah Almighty knows best.
